How the west was won

Hi O6 Maestro,
I agree it would make an interesting game, I did not mean to offend anyone with the post!

By the way although Japan attacked the USA before declaring war officially I would guess Japan also have a reason to distrust the USA thanks to the Atomic bombs ?

But it did end the war very much sooner!

By the way Punk Reaper,
I'm trying to get all the Scottish builders who are out off work just now to help rebuild Hadrians wall. Hehehehe[:D]

Scotland v England have had our share off history as well

Now that was biased, you had Mel Gibson on your side [;)]

[PunkReaper]

Don't get me started about Mel Gibson and Braveheart....... What a rubbish film...... He makes up his history as he goes along. Now If he played General Custer he would have beaten the Indians and managed to blame the English. [:@][:@]

Yes and he looks braw wearing a skirt big jessie [:D] Oh no it was a KILT not a skirt hehehehe[:)]

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

He was good in Patriot [:)] He did win single handed did he not ?[:D]

[PunkReaper]

Only because he was writing the script. I'm surprised he wasn't allowed to survive in the film and become king if England

Don't worry about it, Hellfirejet. I don't think it would be an easy conflict to model though and probably not as interesting as you think. There's a lot of history there with plenty of conflict on all sides and some fairly even battles at times, but I don't think it really would make a good wargame. The overall strategic picture was not a balanced one and the long-term outcome was never really in doubt. Plus, as you can see, it's a touchy subject.

Guys, I understand why some of you got up in arms given the way some parts of the original post were phrased, but seriously. If we can discuss wargames involving Nazi Germany, I certainly would have thought we could handle discussing Custer.

With that said, I'm locking this up given how folks have already gotten worked up, tossing around terms like genocide.

Regards,
